Starfield Fans Astounded by New Atlantis Structure: Resemblance to Dead Space Marker Creates Excitement!

Highlights

Starfield players have discovered a potential Dead Space Easter egg in the game, with a sculpture in New Atlantis resembling the Marker monoliths from Dead Space.

The Marker-shaped fountain stands prominently atop the city's Spaceport, ensuring players cannot overlook it upon landing in the United Colonies.

Apart from the Dead Space reference, players speculate that Starfield's character creator and a medical device within the game might also conceal Easter eggs alluding to The Expanse and Blade Runner 2049.

Some Starfield players claim to have discovered a Dead Space Easter egg in Bethesda's latest game. Despite its official release date of September 6th, many fans have gained early access to Starfield by purchasing one of its higher-tier editions and have been playing since September 1st.

Bethesda's development team is known for incorporating references to their favorite media and inspirations in their vast open-world games, and this holds true for Starfield. Previous Bethesda titles like Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 were also teeming with Easter eggs, showcasing the studio's affinity for immersive RPG experiences.

Starfield, continuing the trend, may be Bethesda's first game to feature a Dead Space Easter egg. Players have noticed that one of the sculptures in New Atlantis bears a striking resemblance to the Marker monoliths from Dead Space. Although made of metal instead of organic materials, the double-helix shape closely resembles the extraterrestrial obelisks from EA's renowned survival horror franchise. This has led fans to believe that the similarity is intentional rather than coincidental.

Interestingly, the potential Dead Space Easter egg is not hidden in a secluded area within New Atlantis. Instead, it sits atop a grand fountain that separates the city's Spaceport from its shuttle service. This location ensures that every player, upon arrival in the United Colonies' crown jewel, will pass by the sculpture. Located at the top of the port's ramp, just beyond the UC Security offices where players can begin various citywide quests, this unique structure catches the eye.

In addition to the marker-shaped fountain, fans of the game have speculated that the character creator in Starfield may also contain a hidden Easter egg referencing The Expanse. Prior to the character creation screen, there is a close-up view of a medical machine that bears a resemblance to the device used in Blade Runner 2049's baseline test. Bethesda's latest RPG also includes direct references to their previous games, such as a nod to a memorable line from The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. As the game reaches a larger audience after leaving early access, it is expected that more Easter eggs will be discovered and shared online.

Starfield launches September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
